Knowledge increases in proportion to its use - that is, the more we teach the more we learn.

Resolve to observe or learn something new every day. It'll keep you mentally sharp and youthful. The genuine beauty of acquiring knowledge is that you can learn anytime.

Learning something new requires making mistakes. It involves trial and error. So do not be afraid to make mistakes. Learn like children do. Learn all you can from old people. They've gone over the road you must travel.

"Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow." - Mahatma Gandhi

Now is the best time to start anything. If you wait for the perfect time, you'll starve waiting.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

Short as life is, we make it shorter by wasting time.

The clock of life is wound but once, and no one has the power, to tell just when its hands will stop, at late or early hour. So do today that noble deed, pursue it with a will. Delay not till tomorrow, your hands may then be still.

Thirty minutes a day aimed at one thing can convert a nobody into a somebody.

The college degree is no longer the Golden Key to success. The Golden Key is always was, and always will be: Goal Setting and Will Power - doing what should be done, when it should be done, whether we feel like it or not.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target.

If you want to be happy for a day, have a party; if for a week, take a trip; if for a year, plant a garden; if for life, find a worthy goal.

A little explained, a little endured, a little forgiven, and the quarrel is cured.

Overcoming the enemy by power is half a victory, whereas overcoming the enemy by love is a complete victory. Love your enemies. From them you learn your faults.

The Bible teaches us that:"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." - Matthew 6:14

But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. - Luke 6:35-37

Our mind is a "Thoughts Factory". It can produce either positive or negative thoughts. Ideas of others are our raw materials.

Our thoughts control our life. But we control our thoughts. We are free to think success thoughts - positive thoughts or failure - negative thoughts.

Positive thinking and a positive mental attitude are about the same as keeping our highest moment permanent.

There is a limit to the intensity of any resolution. There is also a limit as to how long it will last. But, fortunately, there is no limit to how often we can renew it. Auto Suggestion - talking to ourselves is one of the most effective of all methods in keeping our highest moments permanent.

You don't have to wait for permission to do the right thing. Be decisive. Take the initiative. Get the facts. Do it now.

Indecision is often worse than wrong action. Indecision is fatal. It is better to make a wrong decision than build up a habit of indecision. Indecision breeds doubt. We never feel safe with a leader not sure of himself.

The most common source of mistakes in management decisions is the emphasis on finding the right answer rather than the right question.

"Books and schools give us knowledge. Wise sayings give us wisdom - tell us how to use knowledge - tell us how to live." - Sidney Smith

Today, information and technology change constantly. To be ahead of the competition, we must develop the ability to absorb, process and apply information very fast. We must constantly learn, unlearn and relearn to be number one.

However, it is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.

If you think you are beaten, you are;If you like to win, but you think you can't, it's almost certain you won't.If you think you'll lose, you're lost, for out in the world you'll find, Success begins with a person's thoughts, it's all in the state of the mind.

Think that you can, and you surely will, it's all in the state of the mind.

Life's prizes don't always go to the stronger or faster man; But sooner or later, the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

Indeed, it is never easy to calm down at time. However, we mustn't forget "Anger is only one letter, and one second, away from Danger". There are people who knows your weakness would like to make you angry in front of a crowd. Thus, always bear in mind that "He who anger you, conquers you."

When the wise get angry, they lose their wisdom. We must never answer an angry word with an angry word. It's always the second remark that starts the trouble.

The best cure for anger is delay. There's plenty of time. While delaying, think of the consequences. They're always worse than the cause.

There's a story about a dog that bragged about his running speed. One day he chased a rabbit, but failed to catch him. The other dogs ridiculed him. He answered: But remember, the rabbit was running for his life. He had a motive. I was just running for fun. If you're just working for fun or wages you'll never try as hard as if you're working for a deeper, longer goal.

More people fail through lack of purpose than from all other causes combined.

You heard the story about the tortoise and the rabbit. Did you get the point? Speed and slowness had nothing to do with it. The tortoise won because he had a goal and stuck with it. The rabbit lost because he scattered his energy all over the lot.

To be great, concentrate. Most people remain ordinary because they scatter their energies.

A winner may not be more ambitious than a loser, but he's ambitious longer. Genius usually starts great things; only laborand hard work finish them.

Have you seen at the circus, huge elephants got tied to a tiny rod in the ground?

Well, when the elephants are still young, they get tied up with a very huge rope. All day long, the elephants tried to get rid of it. But they can't. Finally, the elephants give up. From that moment on, they strongly believe that there is absolutely no chance to get rid of the rope. They accepted the fact that the rope limits them. That's why, they can be tied with extremely small ropes in the circus!

Likewise, we could also have many limiting beliefs, which comes from legacies, other people's opinions or even our own fears. These causes us not able:

to live our lives to the fullest

to be successful as we could be

to set and reach higher goals

to fulfill our true dreams and desires, etc.

We can change our inner belief system, our attitude, and break our inner boundaries. We always have the inner strength; the personal power to change everything in your life for the better. We just need to find out how!

Children are naturally curious. They believe parents and teachers know a lot about the world. Asking questions and listening to answers are vital to their learning. You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction - Annie Sullivan.

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance - Franklin P. Jones

If we ask a better question, we will come up with a better answer and therefore, a better result - What do you think?

The more I think I had learnt the more I know I still have to learn. Everyday when we face problems, we are actually learning. How we tackle problems determine whether we are acquiring Wisdom or getting more stress that kills.
